I do appreciate whimsy, and to me the three pieces do make for a very odd grouping that suggests an evil grin on the artist's face as he contemplated our reactions to it... so I approve at that level. It's the wild clock that makes it for me though: I feel completely trashed just looking at it.

Reminded me of Dali's melting clock.

really love how these turned out, the base of the "exo=skeleton" building reminds of some of the old buildings along bloor street. just wish they did the precast in a colour to warm up the base. Regardless, great addition to the city.

...it's weird how this project is all 50 shades of grey and pearl until you get to the garage bit, where it all becomes the envy of Kermit the Frog.

...anyways, more about the artist on that featured installation here, FYI:

Feels very London (UK) new-development (good thing).

Ok.....comments:

1) I hate the lighting. That's unfortunate. I think HP did a nice job with the buildings here overall. Clearly they spent some dollars wisely..............but not on the lights.

They are high light pollution, so I don't like that. They are sterile and lack a design ethos worthy of the buildings. I also don't like the fixture placement. Its just off.

2) Also what is this ledge for? Pigeons? I mean human posteriors are not fitting on that depth......

The exposed, smooth concrete will also serve as a tempting target for taggers

Extensive discolouration is already evident, as seen in this @Rascacielo pic:

Fail on the Landscape Plan.
